Chop block

[ddn]

20. 1st and 10 from A’s 22 yard line. Guard A77 blocks defensive tackle B62 at or below the knees, while tackle A71 simultaneously blocks B62 in the chest. The block occurs in the free blocking zone at A’s 23 yard line. The correct ruling on this play is….

a. Legal block since the low-high block was simultaneous
b. Legal block since this action took place in the free blocking zone
c. Illegal block; foul for chop block.
d. None of the above

I answered c. (well, I think I clicked on c) and it was marked incorrect.
